Interesting article! Is RFF really a "stalking site"? Andy Denhart thinks so but I would call it a"freedom of information act" site. Most interesting is "The siteís moderator had a cameo this season because of a contestantís lost passport." This was only on the Internet and in the New York Times as far as I know. Did one of our moderators actually get televised and we all missed it? How would that be possible, particularly since it looked to me that World Race Productions was doing everything possible to not give RFF any shout-out on camera for the passport incident resolution?

Meanwhile, Amazing Race fans will be interested to know he recently wrapped taping of the next season -- the 20th -- which he (natch) promises will be full of twists and turns. It premieres Feb. 19 (details here).

They did it super fast in these budget-crunching times (22 days, which is shorter than in the past). "It was insane," he says. "It's like (throwing) a new party in a new country every day" -- lots of last-minute arrangements and changes. Plus, with a lot of popular, easy-to-reach spots already used, "we're going to out-of-the-way places ... it's getting harder from a production standpoint."

ZBC, I don't think it means 11 legs necessarily at all. It does suggest that the no rest legs are becoming even more of a staple, and suggests that the "out of the way" places are making it even harder for them to be spotted during filming.

I honestly don't think producers are bothered at all about location spoilers. The only spoilers they absolutely do NOT want released are anything that gives away the race results. And I don't think the spoilability of a location would ever affect their choice of race route.
